Script Debugger 5.0.2 Released

We are pleased to announce the release of Script Debugger 5.0.2. Script Debugger 5.0.2 is a free maintenance release addressing a series of issues that came to light following the release of Script Debugger 5.0. This maintenance release focuses on improving stability and performance when opening longer scripts.

You can update within Script Debugger using the Check For Updates command in the Script Debugger menu. Alternatively, you can download the new build here:

17548 Resolved a crash that happens when the event log window is opened, closed, reopened and then closed while the document remains open.

17528 Script Debugger reopens scripts in their tabs rather than in separate windows following a crash.

17521 Corrected a problem where text selections may not be drawn properly following a Replace All operation.

17512 Resolved a problem where Script Debugger may report a parameter error (-50) when a script stops on 10.6.4 systems.

17517 Improve the presentation when confirming document saving while closing a window with multiple dirty tabs.

17487 Libraries added from the Application Support folder now default to ‘Relative To Application Support’.

17480 Resolved a problem where Script Debugger crashes when launched on 10.6.4 systems.

17505, 17543, 15974 Resolved a series of memory related bugs that may improve overall stability.

As an advanced user, I love that Script Debugger itself is scriptable, which opens up many possibilities for source code management, program deployment, and script analysis. Script Debugger's capabilities are legion. It even shows times and statistics to help quantify your script's performance. If it's possible, almost certainly Script Debugger 5 can do it!

This is an outstanding upgrade to an already outstanding application. The new dictionary viewer is simply stunning, but the whole UI has been refreshed with an eye to helping the scripter be more productive. In a word: indispensable.

Script Debugger 5 is a tremendous leap for what has long been an indispensable tool for any AppleScript developer. Its much-improved interface allows easier access to multiple scripts and its superb dictionary view options. But this is also a feature-rich update.
